The axis2 and activemq releases that we've been waiting on for a 2.2.1 Geronimo
server release are finally available, but I didn't realize that the 2.2 branch

ready to be released and can it be released soon? I'd like to get the server
release voting started by the end of next week, if I can.
I created a 2.2.x Geronimo Jira, yesterday, which will have OpenEJB implications. If the
server socket bind ip address is 0.0.0.0, we'll advertise the server's ip address as
0.0.0.0 to any multicast discovery clients. We'll need to support a separate
"remote" ip address (separate from the server socket ip address).

Any multicast architecture should be sending/advertising 'all' IP-addresses and host-names of the server if bind is set
to 0.0.0.0, clients can then loop through the list and keep track of successful connections - With a preference for host
name connections rather than IP. Currently the config files need to be manually edited to contain the public IP address.
In fact, 'discovery' should be a list rather than a single value - For supporting a multi-homed machines.
The server should be making a best guess ordered 'discovery' list of it's own public addresses for all network cards on
start-up. When a multicast client gets this list then it should see if it's own host-name is in this list, and if it is
then first attempt to use localhost. The 'discovery' parameter should act as an override if specified.
